    “He is rid away”? How completely awkward this strikes me. Yes, this is an atrocious piece of crap and it really does make you wonder, to answer your question, LJ. And what’s more amazing is that there are only two of this person’s poem posted here so are we to take it that this is somehow a sterling example of her work?
